This Budget of Fun cartoon celebrates Republican Abraham Lincoln’s reelection as president. The “Giant Majority” carrying him to victory consisted of 55% of the popular vote to George McClellan’s 45%. Here, the Democratic nominee carries the burden of a demon wearing a “Minority” dunce cap, while the braying “Peace” donkey sinks along with the “Chicago Platform.” Lincoln’s Electoral College victory was even more impressive: 212 to 21. McClellan won only three states: New Jersey, Delaware, and Kentucky.
